Thanks for the info. Not to hijack your post, but can anyone give me the GPS coordinates for the garbage hole out of Neah Bay? I only get to go to Neah Bay once a year so I need all the help I can get.

Thanks,
JB :blush:

I have the GPS # you want but it will take a day or two to get to my boat and PM them to you. If you do not hear from me by Tues. send a gentle reminder. We did ok on halibut there but last year we picked up over 200 true cod. (6 fishing in 2 boats).

DownTime, Here's the GPS #'s for the dump at Neah Bay
(North)48-23-49
(West)124-38-06
Don't worry about finding that one, just look for the boats.
Good luck

Thanks BD and E-D. I have a fishing buddy that just got a salty boat after being boatless for several years and he wants to try the Neah Bay area after we do a shakedown cruise or two. My boat is a jet so it doesn't see too much salt.

These opening are not yet approved and are being presented to the PFMC. They will probably be right tho.
